From my subclass of an NSView I call the (simplified) following:

- openHUD {
   [NSButton * button] = <alloc & init>
   [NSWindow * w] = <alloc & init with some style>
   ...
   [[w contentView] addSubview: <button>]
   NSWindowController * nw = [NSWindowController initWithWindow:w];
   [nw showWindow:nil]
}

This sounds crazy - an NSView is opening a window? *Where* in NSView is this called from?

Apart from breaking fundamental design principles (MVC for example), why aren't you using Interface Builder? Don't fight the frameworks - unless you have a *VERY* good reason to build your UI in code, don't bother. Using IB is the path of least resistance, and is much easier than a) the alternatives and b) it looks.
